    Anyone buying a ZX14 this year?

    Anyone else looking at the ZX14 when it hits the market this year? Comes with factory hard point for hard panniers, the claimed 200hp at the rear will make it interesteding, and there are companies apparently already planning to release turbo kits for them...

    I'm thinking a ZX14 with turbo and hard panniers will make a nice tourer for me...

    reckon it'll give the busa a run for it's money.. i'd be keen to see one first hand, but it still looks a bit over weight. I bet someone bores it out to 1800 and turbos it before mid-year..

    Anyone thinking about an 06 ZX10?

    They look not so bad in the flesh. Kinda like a Busa but nicer looking - just as bulbous....

    Think Busa looking size + blackbird-ish lines. Saw one at the NEC show in November

    So if you're pinged for twice the 'walking speed' (280 k's) are you off the road for twice as long?
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    Nope, wouldn't touch one. I was under the impression that there is a zx14 in nelson

    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
